The Villainess With No Happy Endings

Chapter Seventeen - Through Sybil Eyes - In Between

I remember the day where I found Aurelia sitting in the flower garden with a peaceful look on her face. She didn't look cold, distant, or sad. She just looked so at peace with herself. It was at that time I didn't compare her to that woman, I only saw her as Aurelia...

When she asked me why I wanted to be her servant. A servant of someone hated by her own family. I could see that she wanted to cry but forced herself not to. I wanted to hug her at that moment but I knew that it would be the wrong time for that. So I tried to comfort her with my words, it didn't seem to help get rid of all her worries but she looked a bit warmer in my eyes.

I felt really happy when she agreed to me being her servant. I decided that I would be the best servant she ever had and that I would be so great at making hot chocolate. It was a nice experience working for Aurelia. I got to be around her a lot and learn her habit.

I also pick up habits of her that I think she doesn't even know she does. Whenever she was feeling concerned about something a wrinkle between her eyebrows would appear. When she was feeling happy and wanted to smile the corners of her eyes would curl slightly but not for a long time. When she was feeling angry she would dig her nails into her hands until blood appeared on them.

Using those as hints I would always figure out a way to make sure she was always in a happy mood. I felt like she wanted to let her guard down around me but she would always get cold faced when she thought we were too close.

I couldn't understand why she didn't want to trust me fully... It was painful and I couldn't help but be upset for a while. The woman was always letting people get close to her and trusting them without hesitating. It felt strange that Aurelia wasn't like that either.

I knew she did care for me in some way since I saw a shadow servant that I knew belonged to her following me during a party. I felt like she was doing this in secret so I didn't bring it up with her. I couldn't understand why there was this distance between us....

She wasn't like that woman who always had a smile on her face... I couldn't understand if I liked her or I like how she looked like that woman. Was I only trying to replace the woman who was already gone with her daughter? I felt like a dick when I thought about it in that way.

I felt like she was slowly letting down her guard after she decided not to see her family for dinner anymore and she was showing a lot of care for my mom openly. I kind of wish she didn't tell me she saw me as an older brother, really not something you want to hear from someone you are attracted to.

It even seems like she may even get light back into her eyes but of course, her family has to mess it up. I can't understand how one family can even hate each other... Aren't families always supposed to love and care for each other? Why is there so much hate to the point of wanting to kill each other?

I saw a side of Aurelia that I really didn't want to see. It was the side of her that didn't want to live anymore, the side that didn't care about anything anymore. I didn't want her to be like that. I just wanted her to be happy.

When she went missing and no one could find her it felt like everything was going wrong. My mom wouldn't stop crying and I felt like I was going to have a panic attack from all the fear I was dealing with. I felt happy when I picked up her scent in the air and went to her side quickly.

But she wasn't okay at all. Her eyes were vacant and her body was giving off cold air. She looked like she wasn't even paying attention to what was happening to her. She looks like someone who may end up fully cutting herself off from the world.

I can't let that happen. I didn't want her to do that. I didn't want to lose her and make her leave my side. It's not because she looked like that woman anymore. It was because she was Aurelia and I wanted her to be happy. I wanted her to see that she was cared for and loved. I didn't want her to feel like she didn't belong.

It felt like a relief when she finally cried and let out everything that was kept inside of her. She was letting her guard down and I was able to see who she really was. Just a young girl who feels so lonely and scared. A girl who wants to be loved so badly.

I felt at that moment I wasn't thinking of that woman or how they were alike. I was just thinking of Aurelia and only Aurelia. She was the only thing in front of me and the only thing in my mind. She didn't have to be like anyone. I felt happy with her alone.

I still felt a bit like a jerk for always comparing her to her mother in my mind. I couldn't help but feel like maybe I should wait things out and see if the feelings I have for her are more than just admiration.

But I knew I wouldn't leave her side at all. I will always be with her no matter what. Even if everyone hates her I will still be with her, always telling her that she is loved and cared for. She is someone no one could really forget...

I can't wait to see what she becomes as she grows. Hopefully light will come into her eyes and she will be able to smile with nothing holding her back. Aurelia is someone who deserves everything and is such a gentle person who cares so much about the people who are the closest to her.

I will make sure to always help her out from now on whenever it feels like the world is on her shoulders. I want her to know that no matter what she can come to me for help and that I will always take her side. I am her personal servant and whatever my lady wants I will do it for her.

Author Note -  Sybil was so hard to write for. It kind of hard to get through the message but basically he is someone who kept on comparing two people together because they look alike and were related. I feel like this may happen to some people where you end up dating someone who reminds you of your ex in some way which goes to question if you like this new person or are you still into your ex? Sybil doesn't know if he likes Aurelia in that way but he will try to figure it out. I am having a hard time thinking about who I want to write about next. Childhood friend or the figure? I guess you will find out next week.
